Benny
- [Last line, delivered happily after sex with Jack]
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: Bless me father, for I have sinned!
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: You mustn't mess me about. I know I may look like a rhinoceros, but I've got quite a thin skin really.
- [about sex]
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: I don't know. Sometimes it seems like such a strange sort of thing to want to do. You know, ridiculous. Like someone putting their finger up your nose or something.
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: I don't know why you let me go to University. It's like taking me to the top of the mountain and showing me the world, and then marching me back down, and saying, "That's what you can't have Benny, you silly great fat article. Here's what you can have: Knockglen for the rest of your life and married to Sean bloody Walsh!" I'd rather be married to a bloody lizard!
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: Have... have you ever gone all the way with a girl?
- Jack Foley: No. Not quite.
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: Would you like to?
- Jack Foley: Now?
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: No. It wasn't an invitation - just a request for information.
- Jack Foley: You really know who you are, don't you?
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: Well, yes, of course I do.
- [first lines]
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: When all this started, all our families have lived in Knockglen for as long as anybody could remember. And in Ireland people have very long memories.
- Eve Malone: [about Sean Walsh] Oh, God! He's like a lizard!
- Bernadette 'Benny' Hogan: Oh, how do you think lizards make love?
